I saw my black MOE model going for 20% more than I paid for if at a LGS the last gun show I went to.

Depends on if you want the standard or threaded barrel. I went with the MOE since it has everything I want on it.

[Brewski4u1]

dont need a threaded barrel nothing fancy just a basic model .

[Basic]

400 list - 450 ish out the door.(standard)
Be sure you it comes with a magazine, hell ask for another one he may do it to make the sale

Call your local gun shops to see what price they will give you before you go to the Show so you're prepared not to make a mistake paying too much.

You might want to check Walmart too. When I started looking in January they had them with plain barrel for $427. The guy at the gun counter said that was the only model they would be selling, and I wanted a threaded barrel, so I bought online.

One local shop here is selling the MOE version for $474, but they're out of it right now. The two shops that DO have it on stock are selling it for $559 and $539, which I think is ridiculous, so I'm waiting for the first shop to get it in.

I have found that every single new gun I've seen for sale at shows, that I can confirm pricing on, were much higher than I can buy locally. They must think people don't know prices.

thats why i dont want the newest! unless i can seriously talk them down. i have been reading looking and made a few phone calls so i have a good idea what prices are supposed to be.
I always thought gun shows were supposed to be good deals and discounted prices not rip offs.

should be interesting. hopefully a wad of cash can be convincing.

I bought the basic model at gander mountain, paid 450 plus tax.

You could always pick this one up since it's a great deal for one with MOE gear on it: Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22 MOE Ed FDE 811035 - Gun Sale - Firearms

I just picked it up. Thanks for the post! Actually, they were out of the FDE model, but ended up giving me the black one of the same price. I was torn anyhow, more preferring the black, so I'm happy. Darn, I was just there yesterday, and they didn't mention anything about this pricing then!

So, I am no longer rifle-less, and am now officially one of you. ;-) Let the upgrades begin!
